The Emergence of Christ Groups in India

By Saheb John Borgall

The book studies the emergence of Christ Groups against the background of western individualistic approaches in the Indian relational context. These small worship groups were formed and grew as the conversion of families began as a result of the literature distribution that was meant to reach the individuals. The Christ Groups allow the cultural response to develop at its own pace in contrast to the mass movement approach of church growth through homogenous units towards complete social and cultural change, focusing on social responsibility and social justice.
